To: Radio Station WWNC 570 in Asheville
Remove Rush Limbaugh from Asheville's radio waves.
Rush Limbaugh's verbal assault on Georgetown University student Sandra Fluke, calling her a "slut" and a "prostitute," was intended to do one thing: intimidate women who would dare to speak out for their reproductive freedom.
But this time Limbaugh has gone too far, and it has sparked a nationwide backlash. At least 140 major advertisers have pulled their ads from the Limbaugh show, and some stations have canceled the show altogether. Rush is still on the air in Asheville—but if enough local folks speak out together, that could change. We can't let up now. So we're calling on WWNC 570 in Asheville to take Limbaugh off the air for good.
